Spaghetti Pie

  This is not what you think it is! Or maybe it is. I like to serve food buffet-style. It’s such a relaxed and informal way of eating during holidays or other get-togethers. Especially food you can make ahead of time and simply pop in the oven at the moment supreme is a big hit in my kitchen. This spaghetti ‘pie’ is one those slightly unorthodox recipes I like so much. It’s best eaten cold…

    Eggplant Piccolino’s

    I had so much fun when I made this recipe for the first time. Probably the sneakiness behind it all. It’s sad though, having to stoop to sneaking vegetables into your kid’s diet! I think I mentioned my munchkin going through a crazy pizza phase lately? He used to be a great eater. The kid would eat anything you’d dangle in front of him, but lately he’ll only jump up…

      Rosemary & Garlic Focaccia

      Let’s get decadent! Ok, so maybe not really decadent. It’s just simply bread with a foreign sound to it. I do notice that a lot of people get intimidated when it comes to cooking outside their normal repertoire, especially when it’s something in a foreign language. There’s really no need for that, it’s so incredibly simple. I do it all the time, I even write this blog in my second…

        Farfalle Al Pesto Rosso

        Or to put it simpler; bow tie pasta with red pesto. Somehow that just sounds less good, doesn’t it? Earlier this week I whipped up some pesto rosso, and now I’m gonna turn it into a creamy pasta sauce. Cremosa in rosso. Served with fresh vegetables, fragrant basil leaves, olive slices and topped with Parmesan curls, this is a cheerful looking dish. By far my favorite pasta sauce. It’s a creamy and…

          Pesto Rosso

          No real fancy photos this time, but I truly believe this is one of my better recipes. A simple and fast red pesto -very basic really- but with such an intense flavor. Having this in your fridge literally opens up a world of possibilities. Add it to steaming hot pasta, toss around and you instantly have a simple side-dish. It turns sauces and soups into something special. Spread on top…

            Italian Cheese Cookies

              I’m not afraid of using butter! Not at all, I just prefer using lots of butter on special occasions, or when I’m having female issues, you know? Italian cheese cookies. Italians sometimes really do it better! Tasty, savory biscuits with lots of cheese, rosemary and sun-dried tomatoes. See! Cookies don’t just go with coffee and tea, they also go with wine and fun evenings with friends! These are so…
